November 2019

Greetings,

Periodically, the ILA Committee for Diversity & Inclusion shares resources on issues relating to diversity and inclusion. Here is another of our emails with items that may be of interest or value to those seeking to learn more about diversity, inclusion, and social justice. This month's is extra-long, with rich topics shared by ILA members as well as resources generated as a result of themed month celebrations. While we know we can’t be comprehensive, we do our best to collect timely resources on library-related issues and share those every few weeks. If you have resources that fall under the diversity and inclusion umbrella you feel might be helpful or interesting for the ILA membership, please send them my way and I will work with the committee to share them out as appropriate.

Sincerely,
Cara B. Stone
Chair, Committee for Diversity & Inclusion

Below are notes from the different table-topics groups.

October 2019

Greetings,
 
Periodically, the ILA Committee for Diversity & Inclusion shares resources on issues relating to diversity and inclusion. Here is another of our emails with items that may be of interest or value to those seeking to learn more about diversity, inclusion, and social justice. While we know we can’t be comprehensive, we do our best to collect timely resources on library-related issues and share those every few weeks. If you have resources that fall under the diversity and inclusion umbrella you feel might be helpful or interesting for the ILA membership, please send them my way and I will work with the committee to share them out as appropriate.

Want to visit with colleagues about issues surrounding diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice? 
Join in and connect at the ILA/NLA/NSLA unconference session sponsored by ILA’s CD&I: 

Friday October 4th from 10:15 AM - 11:05 AM - Diversity & Inclusion Unconference Session, Gatsby room
 
Sincerely,
Cara B. Stone
Chair, Committee for Diversity & Inclusion
